decision to make! please help!

First time asking a question so please bare with me :) I am 34 weeks 5 days. My dr is going to induce between 36-37 weeks. However baby b is breech, therefore I have a decision to make about how we proceed. Do I a: proceed with an induction and a possible breech extraction of baby b- and If this doesn't work a c section to get baby b OR B: schedule a c section.

well they can always turn at the last min, so my doc says, we will do an u/s when I get to the hospital to see which we need to do. That's what they should do with you if you want to try vaginal delivery. Then you will deliver in the OR regardless for safety reasons. Good luck! Hope they turn for you!

I would do a c-section. I had one with my twins. It wasn't that bad. I felt that it was safer because they can get to the baby faster if there were any complications. Plus I didn't want to labor then have a section if baby b wouldn't turn on his own.

I kind of have the same dilemma..except that I have had two singletons vaginally, and I've never had a c-section. I've decided to try for vaginal if possible. Having delivered vaginally I know the recovery won't be as bad this time. But for you being ftm, I can imagine delivering twins would be daunting! I know c-sections aren't always that bad, but I prefer to not have the incision and recovery to deal with if possible. But it all depends on the little ones, and their health is first of course! Do what you're most comfortable with :) Good luck to you!

vaginal birth. My doctor said she would.deliver b even if he/she is breech. I delivered both of my sons vaginaly and it was the most beautiful happiest proud moment of my life. Don't miss out on that!!!

I would go with the c-section. They tried to induce me for 24 hours at 37 weeks and nothing worked... I ended up with a c section anyway. It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought and I'm not finding recovery to be bad at all. Just take your pain medicine and walk as soon as you can. For me the most painful part was the gas pains in my shoulder - who knew that could happen?!? Sooo uncomfortable

I had to deliver my singleton via c-section. He measured 9 lbs before delivery and my OB said there was a risk of shoulder dystocia (and possible permanent palsy) if I tried vaginally. At the end of the day, you need to do what's best for your babies. To me it's a no brainer and I'm really sick of certain people being so judgmental about others having c-sections on here.

I was in the same situation so I chose c section. My worst fear was delivering one vaginal then an emergency c section after. Then I would just hurt all over. My oldest son was born vaginal and then twins c section. Personally recovery was easy with both but I don't let pain get to me really. Just take the meds and keep on moving along was my motto.

I really wanted a vaginal delivery. Both babies were head down and my son (baby b) turned breech last minute (literally). She gave me the option to do breech delivery or csection. After 4 hrs of pushing baby a out (she was sunnyside up) I did not want a csection. So we delivered breech. It all depends on what happens. If you want to not chance it at al then do the csection. To me it was important to deliver vaginally (ftm as well..I wanted the experience). Of course if I needed to id do the csection.

I had to have an emergency c section with my twins at 26.5 weeks. I wish more than anything that I could have had them vaginally. The recovery wasn't too terrible but now I never will have the chance to give birth vaginally and I am pretty sad about that! Do what's best for yours and your babies health. Good luck either way!

I have the same problem and I scheduled a csection. I felt it is the best choice for me and my babies regardless of my recovery. speak to your doctor and do what is best for you and the babies :-) goodluck

I had the worst case scenario of twin A vaginally with 2nd degree tear then twin B emergency c section due to prolapsed cord. It was not that bad! You will be so excited that the babies are here it won't matter what hurts. I'm 2 weeks post partum and feel great! Haven't even needed Motrin for the past week.
